Fantastic side that goes well with any source or protein (meat, fish, eggs, cheese - e.g. grilled Halloumi) and is so versatile that you can use leftovers to make soup or shakshuka for breakfast or lunch.
Ingredients:
1 red and 1 yellow pepper
2 small to medium courgettes
2 small aubergines or 1 large
2 red onions and 1 white
5 tomatoes (take skin off by dipping in boiled water for a minute) or 400ml tin of chopped tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
3 table spoons of olive oil
Optional: 1 bulb of fresh fennel, 1 clove of garlic, favourite herb(s): dry oregano, thyme, rosemary or basil
Method:
Dice all vegetables, finely slice or mince the optional garlic.
Heat up oil over medium heat, add vegetables except tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. This will release sugar from the veg and slightly carmelise them.
Add tomatoes and optional herbs, cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.
Season to taste.
